STOBG’s Innovation team is constantly partnering with change-makers who are helping advance the way we build. STOBG’s chief innovation officer, Rob Leon, recently interviewed one of those visionaries: Sarah Buchner, CEO of Trunk Tools, a business that was founded out of real construction practice and is now at the forefront of AI for construction. In their conversation, Buchner describes how a deadly moment on the jobsite, a PhD, and a love for problem-solving translated into solutions that are revolutionizing project execution behind the scenes.
Sometimes the tools we use shape us, as much as they do the task at hand. For the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry that’s perhaps a little truer than most; ironically so, given the persistent reputation for clinging to the old ways.
Following a 20-week pilot program with Structure Tone, Otto Tech Systems will release their SmartLadder system to combat a leading cause of workplace accidents: falls from ladders.
DroneDeploy, the leading aerial and ground reality capture platform, has announced the launch of Safety AI, the only solution of its kind to automatically identify safety risks on construction sites using a combination of in-house developed proprietary AI and large multimodal models from Google and OpenAI.
“The topping off of the Hardt Foundation Tower is not just about reaching new heights in the construction of our new patient tower project, but elevating care for our growing community. Every beam is a promise and a commitment to the future of medical services in Bakersfield.”
In our dynamic industry, where project scopes and budgets frequently evolve, the early stages of a project are crucial to its success. Progressive design-build (PDB) has emerged as a promising method to manage the uncertainties and complexities of construction projects. Ajax Building Company, a leading player in this space, has leveraged this method to enhance project efficiency and innovation.
